Last night's game showed me that we're not an elite team yet. We're 10-2 and very fortunate to be that good. Bigby, Bush, and Collins showed why we're not elite. Collins and Bush can't cover and Bigby is a penalty waiting to happen on every play. He and Harris, as good as they can be, play out of control and when their head gets in the way they lose. The offensive line isn't where they need to be, to be an elite team.
We clearly know how important Brett Favre is to this team. We're not an elite team because if Brett doesn't play his best game, we're in trouble. The "old" Brett showed up last night. The Brett that didn't make good choices, that forces the ball.
The lack of an impact linebacker also hurt us last night.
I guess the bottom line is that in big games like this your best players play their best. Ours didn't. And still it was a game. There is hope. This is a team that is growing and needs to be fine tuned. It's not an awful team, but we're not as good as our record either. WE learned we have a good back up quarterback. Grant can play. Our receivers are good, but what wil make them great is catching the ball all the time.
I'm not going to jump off the bridge on this game. I am however aware that we're not an elite team, at least last night.
